"You said you've met Lord Sky Throne? And he told you about this Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm?" Han Bingling asked with a serious expression.
Yun Lintian responded with a hum and narrated the entire process between him and Lord Sky Throne. Naturally, he left out the Divine Jade part and the locations of other elemental sources.
"You really don't know about this? There has to be a record in your Frozen Moon Palace, right?" Yun Lintian asked in wonder.
Han Bingling went silent for a moment before answering. "There is, but they exist in the legend… Do you know why we've been called the weakest among the nine palaces?"
Yun Lintian could roughly guess about it, but he still shook his head. "No idea. Is it because you have fewer monarchs?"
Han Bingling let out a long sigh. "It's a long story. It would take the whole day to talk about it. In short, our foundation is weaker than theirs. In this aspect, we might not even be comparable to the long heritage clan like the Peng clan and the Lin clan. The only reason we could stand in this position is because of our trump card." A look of helpless appeared on her face while she was speaking this.
Yun Lintian looked at Han Bingling and fell into deep thought. During these months, he had acquired some information about the Frozen Moon Palace. He found out Han Bingling had just become the palace master around a hundred years ago, which made her the youngest palace master among the nine palaces, along with Lei Zhenxiang of Divine Thunder Palace.
Yun Lintian didn't know where the previous Frozen Moon Palace Master went. He could not find a single clue related to her. It was as though she had disappeared from the world.
Although he was curious, Yun Lintian didn't think it was appropriate to ask at the moment.
"Why did Lord Sky Throne appear at this time?" Jiang Yingyue suddenly asked. She didn't see anything when she cleared the Forest Maze. Was it because she was unqualified in Lord Sky Throne's eyes?
Yun Lintian couldn't tell her about the Divine Jade. So he tossed this matter to Principal Tian. "I don't know as well. I guess we can ask Principal Tian about it."
Everyone nodded their head. It seemed that was the only way.
As Yun Lintian was about to say something further, Han Bingling's expression suddenly turned cold. "We have an uninvited guest here."
Yun Lintian and others glanced at each other and immediately understood. Yi must have arrived here now.
When everyone walked out of the bamboo hut, they immediately saw a tall man clad in an azure robe floating above the Moonlight Peak. His face was cold as if he had no emotion.
"Leader Yi? Why are you here? Have you forgotten the agreement between your master and me?" Han Bingling said coldly.
Yi did not respond to Han Bingling but kept staring at Lin Zixuan. Everyone could clearly perceive a terrifying Spiritual Sense swept over.
"How dare you!?" Han Bingling bellowed and released her aura.
Instantly, Yi's Spiritual Sense was entirely blocked, and it was at this time, he turned to look at her.
"The agreement between you and my Master has nothing to do with me. I am here to check on her. If you want to fight, then fight." Yi said expressionlessly without care.
Too straightforward… Yun Lintian felt this person was different from all the monarchs he met. He was expertizing on the concealment, yet his personality didn't seem to match his special ability.
"Please restrain yourself, guest from afar. This is not a place for you to express your power wantonly." As Han Bingling was about to fly into the air, an aged voice suddenly resounded from the sky, and Principal Tian's figure slowly descended from the group of clouds. His face was tranquil as he locked on Yi.
Yi glanced at Principal Tian and said. "You've misunderstood me, Tian Zun. I came here with no intention of harming anyone. My Master just wants to know something about Lin Zixuan."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian was surprised by Yi's arrogance. Wasn't the Azure Palace had to respect Lord Sky Throne's descendant one point? How come he mentioned Principal Tian by his name directly? Looked like he was confident no one here was his opponent.
Principal Tian's expression did not change in the slightest, as if he was accustomed to it already. He smiled faintly and said. "Since you've already finished your duty, you should go back now."
Yi squinted his eyes, carefully observing Lin Zixuan again. No matter how he looked at her, she did not seem to change from the last time he saw her. Suddenly, he flicked his wrist and shot azure profound light toward Lin Zixuan.
No one expected Yi to be this daring. His action was extremely fast to the point Han Bingling could not react in time. In a split second, the deadly light had already arrived before Lin Zixuan.
Yun Lintian and Jiang Yingyue had never let their guards down since the beginning. When they saw Yi flick his wrist, both reacted almost instantly and jointly created a defensive barrier around their master.
Bang!
The newly erected barrier was shattered instantly under the overwhelming power of the azure profound light. The impact directly blew everyone away several meters. All the nearby trees and bamboo hut completely vanished into nothingness.
Principal Tian's eyes narrowed as he released a terrifying aura to press down on Yi. The latter didn't seem to bother about him and continued to stare at Lin Zixuan's figure in the distance.
"Die!" Han Bingling uttered coldly. Her eyes were brimming with boundless killing intent.
The sky suddenly darkened from day to night. A giant blue moon appeared amidst the darkness, releasing a bone-chilling aura that caused everyone in the divine city to feel cold from head to toe.
Crack crack crack!
All of a sudden, a deafening, freezing noise that nearly shattered everyone's eardrums and a sheen of thick ice was spreading swiftly across Yi's body.. Instantly, confined him to the place.
